Put New Life In Your Engine
A Dose of Johnson's Carbon Re-
mover will increase the power of your car-improve acceleration stop that knocking sound-quiet your motor save your batteries-and reduce your gasoline consumption 12% to 25%-
JOHNSON'S CARBON REMOVER
is a harmless liquid to be poured into the cylinders. It softens the carbon and re leases it from the metal. It then burns, pow. ders, and is blown out through the exhaust. Five minutes' time and no labor required. You will save from $3.00 to.$5.00 over any other method without laying up your car and with very much better results.
Use It Every 1,000 Miles
If you will use Johnson's Carbon Remover at regular intervals giving carbono chance to accumulate you will automatically eliminate most valve trouble and your engine will always be clean and at its highest efficiency.
